APPEAL: Old Bus Photos

RE: APPEAL: Old Bus Photos
(02 May 2020, 3:33 pm)Andreos1 wrote I've noticed one particular twitter feed growing in popularity quite a bit recently.
Digging out photos and videos of yore. 
Take a look at Tyne and Wear Transport Flashback (@TyneFlashback): https://twitter.com/TyneFlashback?s=09

No idea who is behind it, but they're attracting an increasing number of followers.
Without taking away anything they're doing, would what is being proposed here, simply dilute or detract from what is being done there? 
There's only so many old pictures that can be looked at over the course of a day. 
Could what you are proposing, be adapted to show more than just old pictures? There's the timetable resource plus much more in the forum and I think it would be a shame to not utilise those things which would make NEB stand out from the others.

The @TyneFlashback feed is good- I've followed it for a short while now.

There's a few major differences IMO -
  • Scope is North East as oppose to Tyne and Wear
  • The intention of the Bygone Era is an archive/library - @TyneFlashback is a social media feed
  • The sharing of content on social media is an optional - its @TyneFlashback's core product
  • The Bygone Era is much more than just photos, e.g. https://northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/inde...eYear=1994
That isn't to take anything away from what @TyneFlashback (and others for that matter) are doing. Their stats speak for themselves.
